Suggest you to go via F5 policy for such redirection, Its very easy : https://devcentral.f5.com/s/articles/inside-the-big-ip-simple-url-redirects-32269
Option 2: Find the below irule and apply to VIP.
when HTTP_REQUEST { if { [HTTP::uri] equals "/" } { HTTP::redirect "https://xyz.com/D2" } }
Let us know if any issue.

Just to note: the native TCL string comparison operator is 'eq' - 'equals' works because it is an iRule extension, but performance will be better with the native operator. This likely won't matter too much in this case since it's a simple redirect, but something to keep in mind.

See Jason Rahm's article for more detail: https://devcentral.f5.com/s/articles/choose-your-operator-wisely-32909

Thank you Payne for making us aware of the TCL operators vs iRule operators behavior/performance
